Default best mid pipe for Borla Stinger?

I hear an x-pipe with stingers are as good as sex. Will any old x-pipe do? How about a Magnaflow Tru-X (catted x-pipe)?

Haven't looked at H-pipes much. Think I'd rather not delete the cats.

What should I get?

I had the Pypes O/R H with my stingers.
It sounded mean as hell.

If you want to keep the cats, then you have
either Bassani catted X or the Magnaflow.

If you don't like any of these, Thewarmachine
has the ultimate setup for the Stingers,
I'm sure he'll chime in soon with the details.

I am also interested to know if any particular x-pipe, h-pipe, etc. makes Stinger drone any better or worse.

My O/R H made the drone worse.
But I blame that on the leaks.

I like the o/r h sound better. Its mean at WOT! The o/r x and stingers were raw and i liked that alot too. Both are great imo.

More questions...Borla sells a catback. What's the point of that? Their catback pipe between the cat and stinger is no bigger than the stock pipe between the cat and muffler.

Does "off-road" mean the cats are deleted? Trying to decide also if I should replace my cats or get a catted x or h pipe.

I would go with an X-pipe of some sort.

I think the O/R H + Stingers combo is annoying.

That's what I'd like to have. After I got the Borlas many people told me the Prochamber was what I needed next. I've heard some good things about that combo. I have only listened to clips so far, but I'd consider it for mine.
